| | Arthritis Pain and massageMassage Therapy for Managing Arthritis Pain
More than 2,000 years ago, the... Massage Therapy for Managing Arthritis Pain More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates wrote that doctors should be experienced in "rubbing that can bind a joint that is loose and loosen a joint that is too hard." Today, massage is still a popular way to manage arthritis pain. Proponents claim that massage therapy, done correctly, can help improve joint movement, relax tense muscles, and stimulate the flow of blood and nutrients to the skin and underlying tissues. What's more, it just feels good, and the relaxation it brings can help break the cycle of pain and stress that often goes along with arthritis. Pressing the Flesh Technically speaking, massage involves the manipulation of soft tissues with the hands through rubbing, stroking, pressure, and so on. Trained practitioners use massage therapy techniques to improve the well-being of clients. in the United States, and nearly one-fifth of adults now get a professional massage each year. The ScottishMassage Therapy organisationation (SMTO), the field's leading professional organizations, lists arthritis as one of the conditions for which massage can help. But how well does it work? It reviewed the medical literature on the use of massage to manage arthritis pain and it concluded that few people would dispute the short-term benefits for arthritis pain relief. However, studies of the long-term effects of the technique are still lacking. Hands-on Approaches Massage therapy can take a wide variety of forms. These are some of the most common ones: Swedish massage—This is what most people think of when they hear the word "massage." It's a full-body treatment that combines stroking, kneading, and friction on the top layer of muscles with gentle movement of the joints. Deep tissue massage—This technique uses slow strokes and strong pressure on the deeper layers of muscle tissue. The goal is to release tension there. However, the deep pressure can cause some soreness, so it's not for everyone. Myofascial release—This approach uses long, stretching strokes to release tension in the fascia, the connective tissue around the muscles. Trigger point therapy—This method uses concentrated finger pressure on knots of tension or pain that can trigger pain elsewhere in the body. Acupressure and shiatsu—These Asian techniques use finger pressure on specific points on the body—the same points that are stimulated in acupuncture. The pressure is supposed to unblock the flow of life energy, called qi ("chee"). Reflexology—This method involves rubbing certain points on the feet, hands, or ears that are believed to correspond to various parts of the body. Much-Kneaded Advice A typical massage therapy session lasts about 60 to 90 minutes. To see real improvement, though, you may need four to six sessions about a week apart. The cost runs £30 to £90.00 or more per hour, but insurance sometimes covers the treatment if a doctor prescribes it. The first session usually begins with the massage therapist asking questions about your current physical condition, medical history, and goals for the treatment. Next, you'll be asked to remove some or all of your clothing and lie on a padded table. A sheet or towel should be provided, and the therapist should uncover only the part of your body being massaged. This not only protects your modesty, but also helps you stay warm. Often, the therapist will use oil or lotion, so if you know you have skin allergies, be sure to mention them up front. During the massage, don't hesitate to speak up if anything feels inappropriate or causes pain. While massage therapy may provide short-term pain relief, massage therapy that is too rough may aggravate arthritis pain and symptoms. Hand-y Self-help In addition to giving you a massage, a good therapist can show you techniques to use on yourself at home. Giving yourself a massage isn't as relaxing as having someone else do it, but it can still help ease pain and tension. Not only will the part being rubbed feel better, but so may your hands, since they're getting a workout in the process. Self-massage works best for localized trouble spots that are easily accessible. For hard-to-reach places, you might ask a partner to lend a hand or buy an electric massager. But don't try massage on an inflamed joint or when you have an infection, since it could make these problems worse. Here are some simple techniques to try: Kneading—Grasp the muscle between your palm (or thumb) and fingers. Then lift slightly and squeeze, as if you were kneading dough. Don't just pinch the skin. Work into the muscle itself with a slow, regular squeeze-and-release motion. Be careful not to overdo it. Fifteen to 20 seconds on the same spot is enough. Stroking—Cup your hand over the muscle you want to massage. Then firmly glide your hand over the length of the muscle in a slow, repeated movement. A little oil or lotion may help. Try using different amounts of pressure until you find out what works best for you. One key to a good experience is finding the right massage therapist. Always ask about credentials and education. The main credential to watch for is Scottish Massage Therapy Oranisation (S.M.T.O.). Also, look for a a QUALIFIED THERAPIST ask to see certificates if not on dispaly check with the SMTO to see if they are registered. In addition, ask about which techniques the therapist uses and whether he or she has experience working with other people who have arthritis.

It usually shows up between the ages of 2 and 6. It may go undiagnosed for a long time, because parents may attribute it to 'growing pains.' Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), formerly known as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, is the most common form of arthritis to affect children. It is an autoimmune disorder, and it starts when the immune system attacks the joints, wearing away at the joint lining and causing damage. It is characterized by joint inflammation, pain, fatigue, rash, morning stiffness, flu-like feeling, weight loss, and nausea. The joints feel tender to the touch, and there is all-over body soreness. It affects four or more of the joints. Some children will develop arthritis in every joint, as. If the disease is not treated quickly and aggressively, the child will most likely end up with permanent joint damage. JIA and JS are the most common forms of juvenile arthritis, but there are over 100 forms of arthritis that can occur at any age. Some others types of the disease are Psoriatic Arthritis, Juvenile Non-Inflammatory Disorders, Juvenile Systemic Lupus, Juvenile Dermatomyositis, and Juvenile Scleroderma. There are also arthritis-related diseases like Fibromyalgia and Raynaud's phenomenon. There is, however, a lot of hope for children diagnosed with arthritis. If arthritis is detected early and treated quickly, children may go into remission and will sustain less joint damage. Some children with JIA go into remission and never have another flare-up. There have been cases where children completely 'outgrew' their arthritis. Medical practitioners attribute this to the resilient nature of children's bodies. Children's hospitals and physical rehabilitation centres can help teach children how to deal with their disease symptoms, and to live a full life despite the illness. Children with supportive families and medical practitioners will have a better chance of success than children who are neglected. Arthritis symptoms can be eased with proper medication, exercise, diet, a well-balanced lifestyle low in stress, and alternative treatments such as massage and reflexology. Children should definitely see a physiotherapist to learn the best forms of exercise and stretching, which will aid the joints. It is also advisable for kids to talk to counsellors, and to see an occupational therapist, who can help the child with any needed lifestyle or physical modifications. Reflexology is healing system within complementary medicine in which specific points on the feet (and occasionally the hands), known as reflex points, are manipulated to bring about changes in other parts of the body. These reflex points are believed to correspond to every major organ, gland, or area of the body. Reflexology was first introduced to the Western world in the early 20th century as zone therapy. It is based on the principle of ancient Asian medicine in which a life force circulates throughout the body, connecting one part to another; when this energy is blocked, disease develops. By stimulating reflex points on the feet or hands, reflexology is thought to restore the energy flow and the body's own natural ability to heal itself. Reflexology is viewed primarily as a general healing therapy that helps the body regain its natural balance, harmony, and health. It stimulates circulation in the blood and lymph systems and is considered especially useful for migraine , sinus trouble, and constipation . During a reflexology session, the therapist uses fingers, thumbs, and palms to stroke or lightly press the reflex points on each foot or hand. Where energy blocks—commonly felt as tiny crystalline deposits are found, the reflexologist applies deep pressure for seconds or minutes until these deposits are broken down (it is advised to drink water after a session in order to expel these toxins from the body). Reflexology sessions generally last about 50 minutes. The benefits of reflexology are said to include an overall feeling of well-being, released tension, increased energy, and pain relief. Often one or two reflexology sessions are enough to produce results. Persistent conditions may require weekly treatment at first. Reflexologists recommend regular maintenance sessions to strengthen and balance the energy flow. Complementary Medicine sometimes called alternative medicine, unconventional approaches to healing and health, many of which are now thought to complement conventional Western medicine. Some of these techniques, such as acupuncture, have gained widespread acceptance and approval by both conventional doctors and the general public, but many others are still viewed with suspicion and occasionally outright hostility by the established medical profession. Shared care is only permitted if a registered practitioner remains in overall control; this is not always acceptable to practitioners of complementary medicine. Traditionally, medicine as practised by a doctor has largely been mechanistic, with doctors picturing the body as a machine made of many parts, with the respective individual parts treated separately. The mechanistic approach stresses the role of doctors in the healing process as their intervention is active, and in general downplays the role of mental and emotional factors that may cause the disease or play a role in its natural evolution or treatment. While mechanistic medicine largely ignores the emotional or spiritual aspects of health and healing, holistic medicine (from the Greek holos,”whole”) treats the person as a whole. The philosophy of holism treats the person as an entire unit rather than as individual parts. In this, it attempts to bring emotional, social, physical, and spiritual dimensions of the person’s being into harmony and emphasizes the role of therapy or treatment which stimulates the person’s own healing process. Holistic medicine highlights the interaction between the living body and the spirit, which in holism is defined as giving the person direction in life and a sense of inner happiness. In addition, holistic medicine stresses the importance of the individual maintaining the individual’s own sense of well-being and health. It extends also to the prevention of disease, with emphasis on the maintenance of good health and active healing of disease processes. While traditional medicine stresses the importance of pathological factors ( bacteria , viruses , environmental agents) in the causation of disease (aetiology), holistic medicine maintains that decreased resistance brought about by poor habits and physical and mental stress directly makes the body susceptible to disease. Disease, therefore, is seen as an imbalance between social, personal, and economic stresses as well as biological influences. Paavo Airola, a leading proponent of holistic medicine, defines these stresses as fears, worries, emotional stresses, exogenous poisons from air pollution , food, water, toxic drugs , excess alcohol intake, overeating, over-indulgence in fats , and lack of sufficient exercise , rest, and relaxation. In terms of prevention, holistic medicine attempts to establish and maintain a balance between the individual and the environment . Reflexology can help with the treatment of J.I.D. by reducing stress reducing pain, restoring balance in the body and restoring the energy balance in the body to promote natural healing .and balancing the body and emotions there-for increasing the sense of well-being. |

Extensive research conducted by... About BIO lamps Heat Treatment for Pain Extensive research conducted by leading hospitals and universities in China has shown conclusively that the BIOlamp is one of the best methods of treating arthritic joint pain. Almost every home in China has a lamp for family use and now clinics and home users in Europe are realising the benefits too. Here's how the BIOlamp works... 1 Although BIOlamp is primarily a medical appliance designed to be used solely for the relief of severe conditions of rheumatoid arthritis and severe osteoarthritis, clinical applications in China and other Eastern Countries have proved that BIOlamp is effective in treating other ailments such as back pain, certain sports injuries and some skin conditions such as psoriasis. 2 Although it works in a unique way, BIOlamp looks just like an ordinary lamp. 3 BIOlamp treats the source of pain via a unique infrared spectrum of electromagnetic energy and healing rays which is similar to the natural bio-spectrum waves released by the human body itself. 4 Unlike other infrared medical devices, BIOlamp uses a plate coated with a formation of 33 minerals, embedded in a formation onto a treatment plate, including Calcium and Iron, (which are also found in our bodies). I will charge£60.00 for 30.00 min treatment plus a 30 min massage or £30.00 for 30 min under the lamp it really is amazing the results from this lamp |

| | Frequently asked questionsFrequently Asked Questions
List of Frequently Asked Massage Questions:
1.... Frequently Asked Questions List of Frequently Asked Massage Questions: 1. How often can I get a massage so that it is beneficial? The benefits of massage go beyond the physical. Massage can help ground you and help reduce the mental stress of daily life. Ask yourself what benefits you are looking to get out of massage. Some clients who need to balance their fast-paced lives receive massage once per week. Others receive massage once a month just to 'get the knots out.' If money is not an issue and you really enjoy massage, I would suggest you receive it once a week or every two weeks. Listen to your body. How soon after a massage does it begin aching? When does your stress level get too high? 2. What if I am late for an appointment? If a client is late for an appointment the session will be adjusted to perform as much of the treatment as possible within the remaining time. Pricing will not be adjusted. 3. What should I expect at my first massage appointment? And what preparations do I need to make? Please arrive on time and freshly bathed. Ladies, if you shave, please do so one-day prior. If possible do not shave on the day of your treatments. Also ladies, please come with little or no make-up, and no neclaces or bracelettes please Gentlemen, if you normally shave facial hair, please do so the morning of your treatments. It is recommended that your alcohol intake be limited within 24 hours of your session. It is also recommended that you keep your eating light the day of your session, keeping intake to whole foods. I will have a medical for you to fill out, which may take 10 – 15 minutes to fill out so I ask that you plan to show up 15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. Afterwards I will review the intake with you and begin asking general questions to establish what areas you would like worked on, if there are any health conditions needing to be addressed and to determine if massage is appropriate for you. 4. What about Gratuity? Gratuity may be left at your discretion and is very much appreciated but not expected. 5. What do I wear during a massage or do I disrobe entirely? For a full body massage, most people undress completely. However, you may choose to wear underwear. I will give you privacy to undress, and you will be covered with a sheet and blanket at all times except the area being worked on. Depending on the technique I am performing, you may or may not need to undress. Normally if I am going to be doing a Chair Massage Session you are always dressed. I may ask you to disrobe to allow me to access your body for the moves to be more effective Disrobing entirely is your choice; however, it is customary to do so. Your therapist will maintain your privacy at all times. You will be draped with a sheet and a towel and only the area being worked on will be undraped. At NO time will a clients private parts be exposed or be massaged! NO EXCEPTIONS! Do not ASK 6. What if I'm overweight or embarrassed about my body? You wouldn't believe how many times I've heard someone say they'd get a massage if they lost weight first or didn't have that cellulite on the back of their thighs. Don't let this stop you. You're denying yourself quite a pleasurable experience. Massage therapists have seen bodies in every imaginable shape and size, from young to old, and they're not there trying to judge your physique or ogle your body. They're professionals who have found massage to be a wonderful gift to give to women and men alike, regardless of age and weight, and are proud of what they can offer to people in need of help or just wanting to luxuriate in the sense. 7. Can I talk during a massage? The key to a massage is relaxation and allowing yourself to enjoy the experience. Many therapists will discourage you from talking during the massage. They want you to relax, let your mind float free, and let the massage transport you to an almost subconscious bliss. It's not uncommon for many people to be more relaxed talking. After all, they're lying undressed on a table with a stranger touching their skin. Talking makes the therapist become more human and personal to them, and having this interaction makes it easier for them to place their trust in the therapist, and therefore make it easier for them to relax. Many clients talk in the initial stages of a massage, and as the massage progresses, they slip farther into a state of total relaxation and become quiet. There are times when you should speak up during a massage. If anything makes you uncomfortable, bring it to the therapist's attention. If you're too cold or too hot, the room is too bright and hard on your eyes, or if you prefer the strokes to be deeper or lighter, mention it to the therapist. Feel free to speak up, if something about the massage isn't working for you. 8. How will a massage feel, will it hurt? It usually depends on the techniques used. Many massage therapists use a form of Swedish massage,which is often a baseline for practitioners. In a general Swedish massage, your session may start with broad, flowing strokes (effleurage) that will help calm your nervous system and relax exterior muscle tension. As your body becomes relaxed, pressure will gradually be increased to relax specific areas and relieve area of muscular tension. Often, a light oil or lotion is used to allow your muscles to be massaged without causing excessive friction to the skin. Do not hesitate to ask questions or mention if you feel any discomfort so that the massage therapist can use another approach or technique Whether a massage will hurt depends on the type of massage and the depth of the strokes. A light massage that doesn't probe very deep into muscles shouldn't hurt. At the same time, the light massage won't be able to work out any stress that's deep within those muscles. A muscle that is relaxed will be supple and soft and won't hurt when rubbed. Muscles that are tight, and in many cases have been chronically tight for a long time, may have that 'hurts so good' feeling with a deeper massage. Think of that 'good hurt' as the feeling you get when you stretch a sore muscle during exercise or a yawn. Muscles can be very sore from overuse or tightness, and that good hurt can become painful. A sharp pain may indicate a muscle that has been injured and has some sort of inflammation. In this case, you don't want the deep work to continue in this area. A deep massage with tight muscles may leave some residual soreness the next day. Everybody has different thresholds of pain. The depth of a stroke may not be deep enough for one person's liking and may cause pain for another. Some people want the massage as deep as possible regardless of the soreness. Others want something much lighter and relaxing to help them relax rather than deeper work that might be sore. So make your preference known to the therapist, and give feedback at any time during a massage that the depth of the strokes is more than you'd like. 9. Is a massage always appropriate? No, there are several medical conditions that would make massage inappropriate. That's why it is necessary that you fill out the health history forms and before you begin your session. The massage therapist will ask general health questions to rule out if you have any contraindications to massage. It is very important that you inform the practitioner of any and all health problems or medications you are taking. If you are under a doctor's care, it is strongly advised that you receive a written recommendation for massage prior to any session. Your massage therapist may require a recommendation or approval from your doctor. 10. How will I feel after the massage therapy treatment? Most people feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days. Since toxins are released from your soft tissues during a massage, it is recommended you drink plenty of water following your massage. Massage therapists sometimes recommend a hot Epsom salt bath that encourages the release of toxins that may have been stirred up from the massage treatment. 11. What do I do during a massage therapy treatment? Make yourself comfortable. If I need to adjust your position, I will either move you or will ask you to move what body part is needed to move. Otherwise, change your position anytime to make yourself more comfortable. Many people close their eyes and relax completely during a session; others prefer to talk. It's up to you. It is your massage, and whatever feels natural to you is the best way to relax. Do not hesitate to ask questions at any time. I encourage you to ask questions and to always speak up if you are not comfortable with pressure or if something is bothersome when worked on. 12. What if I don't want to use my gift certificate I was given. Can I get a refund? There are NO refunds or exchanges on any gift certificates or gift certificate packages. 13. If I don't want to use my gift certificate, can I give it to a family member or a friend? Yes, just as long as they use it before the expiration date. Please notify my or have the person tell me who's gift certificate they were given. 14. What can I do if my gift certificate is getting ready to expire and I haven't used it. Can I extend the date? Yes, as long as you call me at least a month before it expires or try to at least schedule an appointment before it expires. I am more than happy to work with gift certificate recipients who make the attempt to use their gift before it expires to make an extension on the expiration date. 15. What if my gift certificate has expired? Can I still use it? No. The only exception to this rule is if you have been seriously ill or in the hospital or have been in an accident and have not been able to receive a massage due to these events. Gift Certificates may be purchased for any of my services. Honor a loved one, friend or colleague with the Gift of Health |

.jpg&folder=listingpics/87/988/&maxW=40&maxH=40&action=crop) | | Information aboput reflexologyWhat Is Reflexology?
The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known... What Is Reflexology? The ancient healing art of reflexology has been known to man for many thousands of years. It was first practiced by the early Indian, Chinese and Egyptian peoples. In 1913 Dr. William Fitzgerald, an American ear, nose and throat surgeon, introduced this therapy to the West. He noted that pressure on specific parts of the body could have an anaesthetising effect on a related area. Developing this theory, he divided the body into ten equal and vertical zones, ending in the fingers and toes. He concluded that pressure on one part of a zone could affect everything else within that zone. Thus, reflex areas on the feet and hands are linked to other areas and organs of the body within the same zone. In the 1930's, Eunice Ingham, a therapist, further developed and refined the zone therapy into what is now known as foot reflexology. She observed that congestion or tension in any part of the foot mirrors congestion or tension in a corresponding part of the body. Thus, when you treat the big toes there is a related effect in the head, and treating the whole foot can have a relaxing and healing effect on the whole body. How Can Reflexology Help You? The body has the ability to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease, it is in a state of imbalance, and vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning effectively. Reflexology can be used to restore and maintain the body's natural equilibrium and encourage healing. By applying gentle pressure to the reflex points of the feet, sensitive, trained hands can detect tiny deposits and imbalances in the feet. Working on these points will release blockages and restore the free flow of energy to the whole body. Tensions are eased, and circulation and elimination is improved. This gentle therapy encourages the body to heal itself at its own pace, often counteracting a lifetime of misuse. Some of the Many Conditions That May Benefit From Reflexology: Allergies Arthritis Fibromyalgia PMS/Menopause Insomnia Neck/Back Pain Constipation/Diarrhea Diabetes/Hyperglycemia High/Low Blood Pressure Fertility Headaches/Migraine Depression Digestive Problems Prostrate Problems Edema Anemia Dizziness/Tiredness Colds/Sinusitis Thyroid Disorders Headaches |

Massage: A relaxing method to relieve stress and pain A soothing massage can help you unwind, but that's not all. Explore the health benefits and risks, then find out what to expect. You might think of a massage as a luxury found in exotic spas and upscale health clubs. But did you know that massage, when combined with traditional medical treatments, can reduce stress and promote healing in people with certain health conditions? During a massage, a therapist manipulates your body's soft tissues — your muscles, skin and tendons — using his or her fingertips, hands and fists. Massage can be performed by several types of health care professionals, such as a massage therapist, physical therapist or occupational therapist. Several versions of massage exist, and they're performed in a variety of settings. A massage may make you feel relaxed, but it isn't likely to cure everything that ails you. And, if performed incorrectly, it could hurt you. Learning about massage before you try one can help ensure that the experience is safe and enjoyable. Health benefits of massage Massage can relieve tension in your muscles, and most people use it for relaxation, relief of stress and anxiety, or to reduce muscle soreness. Massage can also cause your body to release natural painkillers, and it boosts your immune system. Anxiety. While more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, some studies have found it helpful for: Anxiety. Massage reduced anxiety in depressed children and anorexic women. It also reduced anxiety and withdrawal symptoms in adults trying to quit smoking. Pain was decreased in studies of people with fibromyalgia, migraines and recent surgeries. Back pain also might be relieved by massage. However, back pain study results have been contradictory, and more research is required. . Labor pain Massage during labor appears to reduce stress and anxiety, relax muscles and help block pain. Infant growth. Massage encouraged weight gain in premature babies and reduced the number of days they stayed in the hospital. Diabetes. Children with diabetes. Children who were massaged every day by their parents were more likely to stick to their medication and diet regimens, which helped reduce their blood glucose levels. Sports-related soreness. Some athletes receive massages after exercise, especially to the muscles they use most in their sport or activity. Blood flow. A massage might help increase blood flow to your muscles and may reduce muscle soreness after you exercise. Alcohol withdrawal. Massage during withdrawal from alcohol has shown benefits when combined with traditional medical treatment by increasing feelings of support, safety and engagement in the therapy. Immune system. People with HIV who participated in massage studies showed an increased number of natural killer cells, which are thought to defend the body from viral and cancer cells. Cancer treatment. People with cancer who received regularly-scheduled massage therapy during treatment reported less anxiety, pain and fatigue. Self-esteem.

You will feel the positive charged energy pass between us. Then, I will perform a relaxing massage, starting from your feet, up your legs, back and neck. I use my basic therapeutic principles of relaxing massage. I always keep my hands in contact with your body, never breaking the connection of energy passing between us. This is never rushed, taking my time, being rhythmic yet sensitive, and proceeding from long gliding strokes to deeper ones. After relaxing your feet, legs, back and neck, I will have you turn over. I now massage the arms, and hands. I then glide down to the stomach and move down to your legs. After finishing the fronts of the legs and feet, I then glide back up . At this point the energy is building, making it a natural time to start shifting the focus to the chakras centres of your body. The rest of your sensual massage will now focus on the chakras with periodic sweeps up and down your body to spread, balance, energy, and integrate the sensations. I am very skilled in reading your energy and chakra levels, I will smoothly and gradually build up from relaxing massage to more sensual massage. I will start your sensual massage using a "Healing Stroke" The heel of the palm of the other hand glides up and down the chakra all the way to the top and back to the starting point . There are many techniques I will use and of course it is up to you to communicate what feels best. The chakra massage is never rushed. I will slow down, stop, or change what I am doing .. It will enhance your sensitivity to your own body, which in turn makes you more aware and sensitive to your partner's needs. It is very important for you to understand that I provide NO other services other than what has been outlined above. The purpose of this massage is to focus on on the sensation . I may ask you breathe deeply and regularly . The point is to increase your awareness of your body and its response. I do not provide any sexual services at all I finnish the massage with a sensitive gentle face and head massage to relax and calm you before you go home. PLEASE do not ask for anything else I do not provide a sexual service of any description I am a qualified massage therapist The above massage is based on tantric swedish and relaxation massage and it takes an hour and a half to experience this massage to its full benifit. I can do this massage in one hour but it is not the same as it is more rushed than it should be . This massage can also be combined with the hot stone massage for a really relaxing sensual experience for the same price. Please state when you contact me if you would like this option as I will need to heat the stones before you arive. |

| | The diffrence between massage and reflexologyThe differences between Reflexology and Massage
Some people confuse... The differences between Reflexology and Massage Some people confuse Reflexology with massage, but they are two different modalities--each with its own strengths. Both, like many other therapies, such as chiropractics, osteopathy, and other somatic practices, involve the use of the hands to apply their techniques. The aim with both Reflexology and massage is to enhance the well being of the client. Reflexology Massage Application Applied to specific areas (usually feet, hands and ears) To promote a response from an area far removed from the tissue stimulated via the nervous systems and acupuncture meridians. Applied to the whole body; muscles and connective tissue locally for local benefit, or when applied to muscles located all over the body, benefits the entire body. Only the footwear comes off, as only the feet, hands, and ears are touched. All the clothing comes off, as most of the body is touched. Techniques Uses small muscle movements primarily thumbs and fingers are used. Uses large muscle movement. Hands (either opened or closed) and sometimes feet, arms and elbows Purpose To improve the function of organs and glands, and all systems of the body. Works with the function of the body. Primarily to change the soft tissue directly stimulated. Works with the structure of the body. Benefit Total body relaxation leading to the balancing of all internal and external body systems; improving circulation via stimulation to the nervous and subtly energy systems. Local muscle relaxation or if the entire body is massaged then to muscular system improving circulation an reducing muscular tension. |

| | Microdermabrasion skin care for men and womenChakras - Touch Massage
Mayfield Dalkeith Edinburgh... Chakras - Touch Massage Mayfield Dalkeith Edinburgh Midlothian Volunteers need NOW trials £20.00 a session tel Jill 0131 660 2363 Microdermabrasion (exfoliating treatment) It is important that we maintain and look after our skin, especially as we age. Microdermabrasion is a deep exfoliating treatment that is popular with both men and women. For a quick skin pick-me-up, microdermabrasion gives your complexion a smoother surface and promotes the growth of healthy new cells. It improves wrinkles, skin texture and colour by polishing the topmost layer and then vacuuming away the dead skin cells in a safe, controlled manner.This is not a surgical procedure Right from your initial consultation, Chakras-Touch Massage will make you feel at home, answering your questions and putting you at ease. You can be confident in the knowledge thatWho will microdermabrasion benefit? Micro dermabrasion is a great treatment for anyone who wants their skin to have a healthy luminous glow. However it is particularly helpful in treating specific skin conditions, including acne scarring, sun damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, stretch marks, milia and seborrhoea. Whether you want a one-off treatment for a special occasion or a specific skin condition treated, our friendly advisors will happily advise you on how you can get the best from microdermabrasion. How is microdermabrasion done? I will remove any traces of make up first. She will then discuss your skin type with you and choose the wand most suitable for your skin type. The gentle suction action of the appropriate wand will remove any dead skin. The wand will be used over the face and neck area. I use the latest Diamondtome system in our microdermabrasion procedure. Unique diamond chip wands are used to polish your skin to reveal its natural radiance and luminosity, reducing fine lines and rejuvenating your complexion quickly and without discomfort. Usually microdermabrasion treatment takes about 30 - 45 minutes. However, to get the best results a course of 6 treatments is usually recommended. A period of 1-2 weeks in between each treatment is required. After the treatment with the wands a moisturiser and sun block will be applied. The best results are gained from a course of treatments. How long will microdermabrasion take? One session of micro dermabrasion will take approximately 30-45 minutes. What results can I expect from microdermabrasion? After microdermabrasion you can expect smoother skin with an improved texture and more even colour. Microdermabrasion gives skin a luminous glow, lessens the appearance of wrinkles, stimulates collagen production and promotes the growth of healthy new cells. How long is the recovery period from microdermabrasion? There is no recovery time necessary with microdermabrasion. You could easily have the procedure done in your lunch hour. Are there any after effects to microdermabrasion? Following the treatment initially your skin will appear a little bit pink, dependant on how sensitive your skin is, but this will settle down after a short period of time, usually half an hour. Occasionally the treatment can cause thread veins to appear or become exaggerated if you already have them. However, correct use of the most appropriate wand by our qualified experienced microdermabrasion practitioner will minimise these occasional complications should they occur. Are there risks associated with microdermabrasion? Very few risks have been found with this non surgical treatment and the main thing is to keep out the sun for 24 hours after a treatment and wear a good quality high sfp cream Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments? The beauty about Microdermabrasion is that is actually enhances the results of other skin rejuvenation treatments. Microdermabrasion will make the effects of dermal fillers and Botox last even longer. Microdermabrasion is also the perfect treatment to combine with IPL and laser skin rejuvenation, as well as facial peels. How much does microdermabrasion cost? One session of microdermabrasion costs from £40 this is the cheapest price you will find in Mayfield dalkeith Midlothian Edinburgh . This does not mean an infearior service anything but!!! I charge realistic prices that are affordable to everyone. Most casestake 6 treatments at a minimum of 1 week apart and I would like people to be able to take the full coarse. How do I arrange to have microdermabrasion? The first step towards undergoing microdermabrasion is to book a free consultation. At a consultation, you will have plenty of opportunities to ask any questions you may have about the procedure. . No pressure will be put on you to go through with the procedure, and you will not be forced to make a decision at the consultation. We understand that this is a big decision for you and I want you to be totally satisfied that it’s the right thing to do before committing to the procedure booking. |

I have used JIll's services on two occasions and cannot begin to describe the wonderful feeling of relaxation and destressing. Jill is a kind woman who put me at ease from the very start. I felt completely rejuvenated by the whole experience. Would definitely recommend her massage service to anyone. I look forward to my next meeting with her.
